Cost of Living

There are no tuition fees for our PhD program. There is only a semester fee of 280 Euro per term. It includes free public transportation on buses, trams and local trains in the province of Northrhine-Westfalia. It also permits you to have meals at a "mensa", a university cafeteria, at reasonable prices.

To be enrolled as a student at the university, health insurance valid in Germany is mandatory.
